Got Green Blog Hop part two

So I tried really hard but I just couldn't get this section down to the 333 words. By the way if you haven't been to part one, then please read that before you read this. and I may have been a very bad writer for introducing so many characters in this part.

Ira's office was tucked between two
other businesses on main. He was a paranormal detective. Inside his
assistant Clarissa Indigo was at her desk dressed in green. Clarissa
always followed holiday traditions particularly after that nasty
business on Christmas eve. “I'm so glad your here.” Valentine
dumped out the contents of her bag on the desk.

“Well you know me not much of a life
outside of demon hunting, What is this?” Clarissa picked up the
stone.

“A blarney stone,” said Ira as he
stepped into the room he glanced at the other objects, “been
visited by a leprechaun lately”

“Yeah he said I have to....”

“Chase the serpent back to it's
prison. “A strange women with an Irish accent came in. or at least
she looked like a women.

A cup shattered. Darcy had come in from
his apartment upstairs, “B.b..b..ban ..n..nnnshshshshsheeeeee.”

“Yes yes,” the women waved him off,
“let us move on." She came up to the desk," look I have a deal with
the leprechauns, none of us want the serpent back so they select the
person I tell the person what to do and how to find the serpent.”

"Okay so what do she do?" asked Ira

The banshee smiled an evil smile. her
pointed teeth lined up perfectly, “You chant and play the drum.”

Valentine came to a stop. She had been
walking most the afternoon following the blarny stone. It was a weird
guide, getting warmer in some directions and cooler in others. Ira was with her only a few steps behind. Supposedly only Valentine would be able to see the serpent but he insisted on coming as back up.

“Oh hell.” He said. they were at
the steps of St. Micheal's Monastery. “You've got to be kidding
me.”

Valentine felt the blarney stone get
hotter, so hot she dropped it. It melted the snow around it. There
was a strange sound on a breeze. Ira readied his crossbow. Then Valentine saw it, the huge serpent, it was
slithering around the monastery's foundation. It looked translucent like a
specter. Valentine started to beat the drum and chanted,
“I bind unto myself today the strong name of trinity by invocation
of the same the three in one and one in three.” She beat the drum
steadily. But the serpent didn't seem to notice her at first. She kept chanting and
beating the drum, The serpent became corporeal, and it lashed out at her.
Valentine shrieked “Christ have mercy!”
in Polish, which was her first language, and beat the drum. Suddenly something yanked
the serpent back and it was gone.

“Woohoo!” Yelled a little Irish
voice. The leprechaun from before was standing there applauding her,
“you go Lassy!”

Oooo... you transported me! Nice work. Love the lingo and tale and all around feel to the piece. Verrrry fun, lass! ;) If you write historical fiction, I wouldn't be surprised. You'd be very good at it! :D

Thanks Guys! I feel bad because this is part of a world that already exists in my head and I am afraid I may have introduced things that weren't well fleshed out.

Hope- welcome to the drum beat.

Darci- the leprechaun is probably the character that got the most attention in this piece. Well besides Valentine but with the word count limit I wasn't able to go into her back story as much as I would have liked.

Morgan-your complement means a lot to me. I do hope to write some Fantasy/alternate history some day.
